Watched it.
The movie was awesome, definitely my favorite one so far out of the Naruto movies! I didn't understand any of it, but it was still worth it. XD Shikamaru's personality change and Sai's crap painting was so hilarious, I laughed out loud.
I'm actually really surprised though by how little we saw of AU Hinata and AU Sasuke. But still, AU Hinata is my favorite I like her so much better than real Hinata in some ways. She has so much more of a personality than actual Hinata.
The scenes with Naruto and his family were so cute, I really loved it when he got all teary-eyed going home with family actually there cooking for him. The feels!
Honestly, I was surprised also at how ridiculously trolled SS was. Sakura kept the rose he gave her, Sasuke didn't talk with her for a few days, Sakura wondered why, and then she runs into him by coincidence. She sees him being a playboy and the funny thing is that she wasn't even crying like we were told in the spoilers. She just had a "Aw. I fell for Sasuke's playboy method. I'm so stupid." face on. I thought she would have taken it harder but she didn't. I did not expect Sakura to instantly regret her "Sasuke-kun would understand me" comment so soon and run to Naruto's place. What surprised me more was how happy she looked seeing him, it was so adorable!
Sakura's constant selfless streak when it comes to her feelings for Naruto really showed through in this movie, it was really telling. I can't believe she was willing to stay in that world if it meant Naruto would be happy, even though she was miserable with her parents not being around. How is that not love?
I also found something really interesting and symbolic to me, I'm surprised no one pointed it out. You know that rose Sasuke gave her? Sakura kept it but before she saw he was a playboy, her rose was wilting away to the point it only had 2 or three petals left. It's very obvious to me this was Kishi symbolizing that Playboy Sasuke was a fantasy, but it was
also slightly implying her love for Sasuke will likely fade or "wilt" away. This just enforced to me that SS is dead or near-dead.
The fights were just badass, especially the last ones when Kurama vs. Dark Kurama was going on. And Sakura actually
fought!
And she was actually holding her own! Thanks so much Kishi, please like her do this again in the manga!
All the scenes of Sakura worrying over Naruto when he was fighting Menma were so cute, I loved it. And the constant Naruto and Sakura protecting each other were so awesome, the feels.
That bridal save!
No
no NH fan can say Sakura wouldn't give her life to protect Naruto like Hinata would without lying to themselves completely. Sakura was doing exactly that in this movie. Even though NaruSaku isn't canon, if Kishi makes another canon, then this movie is complete BS and a troll. I'm serious. Besides going through all of this understanding of each other, Kishimoto even went out of his way to explictly confirm that NaruSaku is the 2nd generation MinaKushi. Sakura being chained? Naruto wearing the 4th's jacket and fighting to protect his family after the village was destroyed? Plz it was too obvious. You cannot do stuff like that and heavily imply MK=NS
so much and then make NH canon. There is just no way. This movie tells us MinaKushi and NaruSaku really
are parallels.
I saw that role reversal scene between Naruto & Sakura.
Hilarious! Though I don't understand what Sakura did to make Naruto pull such a obvious male tsundere move. XD It's really not like him at all, he's more "deredere" with Sakura. What's so confusing is that it was during that scene of Sakura and the children when she was talking with them and Naruto was staring at her with that loving expression.
Where are the damn subs!?
